Sequence of Points on a Hyperbola

Let $H$ be the hyperbola defined by the equation $12x^2 + 7xy – 12y^2 = 625$.
Next, define $X$ as the point $(7, 1)$. It can be seen that $X$ is in $H$.
Now we define a sequence of points in $H$, $\{P_i: i \geq 1\}$, as:
$P_1 = (13, 61/4)$.
$P_2 = (-43/6, -4)$.
For $i \gt 2$, $P_i$ is the unique point in $H$ that is different from $P_{i-1}$ and such that line $P_iP_{i-1}$ is parallel to line $P_{i-2}X$. It can be shown that $P_i$ is well-defined, and that its coordinates are always rational.

You are given that $P_3 = (-19/2, -229/24)$, $P_4 = (1267/144, -37/12)$ and $P_7 = (17194218091/143327232, 274748766781/1719926784)$.
Find $P_n$ for $n = 11^{14}$ in the following format:If $P_n = (a/b, c/d)$ where the fractions are in lowest terms and the denominators are positive, then the answer is $(a + b + c + d) \bmod 1\,000\,000\,007$.
For $n = 7$, the answer would have been: $806236837$.

To solve this problem, we will start by implementing a function called `find_next_point` that calculates the next point in the sequence based on the given conditions.

“`python
def find_next_point(P_i_minus_2, P_i_minus_1, X):
x_i_minus_2, y_i_minus_2 = P_i_minus_2
x_i_minus_1, y_i_minus_1 = P_i_minus_1
x_X, y_X = X

m = (y_i_minus_1 – y_i_minus_2) / (x_i_minus_1 – x_i_minus_2)

x_i = (m**2 – x_i_minus_1 – x_i_minus_2) % 1000000007
y_i = (m*(x_i – x_i_minus_1) + y_i_minus_1) % 1000000007

return x_i, y_i
“`

Next, we will define the initial points `P_1`, `P_2`, and `X`.

“`python
P_1 = (13, 61/4)
P_2 = (-43/6, -4)
X = (7, 1)
“`

Now, we will calculate `P_3`, `P_4`, and `P_7` using the `find_next_point` function.

“`python
P_3 = find_next_point(P_1, P_2, X)
P_4 = find_next_point(P_2, P_3, X)

P_7 = P_i_minus_2 = P_2
P_i_minus_1 = P_3

for i in range(5, 8):
P_i = find_next_point(P_i_minus_2, P_i_minus_1, X)
if i == 7:
P_7 = P_i
P_i_minus_2 = P_i_minus_1
P_i_minus_1 = P_i
“`

Now, we will calculate `P_n` for `n = 11^14`. To optimize the calculation, we will use the exponentiation by squaring technique.

“`python
def matrix_pow_mod(matrix, power, modulo):
result = [[1, 0], [0, 1]] # Identity matrix

while power > 0:
if power % 2 == 1:
result = matrix_mult_mod(result, matrix, modulo)
matrix = matrix_mult_mod(matrix, matrix, modulo)
power //= 2

return result

def matrix_mult_mod(matrix1, matrix2, modulo):
result = [[0, 0], [0, 0]]

for i in range(2):
for j in range(2):
for k in range(2):
result[i][j] = (result[i][j] + matrix1[i][k] * matrix2[k][j]) % modulo

return result

P_n = P_7
n = 11**14

transform_matrix = [[7, 1], [12, 0]] # Matrix representation of transformation from P_i-2 to P_i-1

transform_matrix_power = matrix_pow_mod(transform_matrix, n-7, 1000000007)
P_i_minus_2 = P_2
P_i_minus_1 = P_3

while n > 7:
if n % 2 == 1:
P_n = find_next_point(P_i_minus_2, P_n, X)
transform_matrix_power = matrix_mult_mod(transform_matrix_power, transform_matrix_power, 1000000007)
P_i_minus_1 = find_next_point(P_i_minus_2, P_i_minus_1, X)
P_i_minus_2 = P_i_minus_1
n //= 2
“`

Finally, we will calculate the answer in the designated format.

“`python
a, b = P_n
c, d = P_n

answer = (a + b + c + d) % 1000000007

print(answer)
“`

The final Python code will look like this:

“`python
def find_next_point(P_i_minus_2, P_i_minus_1, X):
x_i_minus_2, y_i_minus_2 = P_i_minus_2
x_i_minus_1, y_i_minus_1 = P_i_minus_1
x_X, y_X = X

m = (y_i_minus_1 – y_i_minus_2) / (x_i_minus_1 – x_i_minus_2)

x_i = (m**2 – x_i_minus_1 – x_i_minus_2) % 1000000007
y_i = (m*(x_i – x_i_minus_1) + y_i_minus_1) % 1000000007

return x_i, y_i

P_1 = (13, 61/4)
P_2 = (-43/6, -4)
X = (7, 1)

P_3 = find_next_point(P_1, P_2, X)
P_4 = find_next_point(P_2, P_3, X)

P_7 = P_i_minus_2 = P_2
P_i_minus_1 = P_3

for i in range(5, 8):
P_i = find_next_point(P_i_minus_2, P_i_minus_1, X)
if i == 7:
P_7 = P_i
P_i_minus_2 = P_i_minus_1
P_i_minus_1 = P_i

def matrix_pow_mod(matrix, power, modulo):

for j in range(2):
for k in range(2):

return result

P_i_minus_1 = find_next_point(P_i_minus_2, P_i_minus_1, X)
P_i_minus_2 = P_i_minus_1
n //= 2

a, b = P_n
c, d = P_n

answer = (a + b + c + d) % 1000000007

print(answer)
“`
